| Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office during the Second World War. An English translation of the text is attached. The leaflet reports that the Allied Forces now hold supremacy both in the air and the sea and that the Japanese forces in the Pacific are isolated. The message stresses that it is useless to fight vigorously in isolated battlefields without sufficient ammunition and modern weapons. It is also emphasised that the Japanese military government began the war recklessly without consideration of their industrial capacity which was far inferior to that of the US. 100,000 of them were printed. |
